Ann. - BY private account 3 from Oporto, dated the s'3d ult. we find that every thing goes on well at that place, and that the People are confident in their eventual deliverance from their French oppressors. The English are treated with all possible marks of Tesped and grat;tnde. By an Ad of the Council, English coin is to cir culate at its full value. The arrival of Sir ARTHUR WELLESLEY was eagerly' expeded, and a house had been provided, at the expense of the Portuguese Government fur him and his Staff' The people want nothing but ammunition, &c. as they rely tippn their own spirit, though they are eager to have the co-operation of the British. " Conquer or tie," and " Long Live the . English," are constantly heard. An account had been received at Oporto of an iaion which had taken place at Rio Saco, in which the Spaniards were decidedly successful, and the French lost, $3,00(),; - and tfiis account came with such marks of authority as to excite entire confidenee.—lt was reported, the day before the date of these accounts, that .11.71401' had been taken prisoner on board the Rtissian Fleet. There are several. English Men of War lying off Oporto, and the utmost harmony preiailed between the Com manders and the Portugueze, who are anxious to testify their retard for our 'countrymen on all occa sions,, Yesterday evening a telegraphic dispatch reached the Admiralty announcing the arrival of Sit-Trios. argil from Spain, at, P;ymoutfj. Sir THOMAS is probably the bearer of some intelligence of imphrt iice--he may be eipetied in town in the cottrse of this evening. • We hate very little to add to the intelligence which Fe yesterday communicated to our Readers from Portugal. The Patriots' are flocking to the 'standard of their legitimate Sovereign, and the only 2pprehension we entertain is, that their impetuosity may hurry them into an aEtion with JUIWOT'S dis ciplined. veterans before they - can be joined by Sir ARTHutt WELLESLWF. We are happy, however ) , to 6nd that the gallant General, when he landed at Corunna, dispatched a messenger to Portugal to an ilattricft bis approach.. The whole of . the.Batriutic Force, rt. the North of the Tagus, W.J0.1110. to 7QOb , 're filar iif4atry, lo,uoo militia ; SOU MOLuitod ca valry, and 1000 dismounted, and between 15,000 and 16,000 armed peasants. JUNOT has been mak ing great exertions to fortify himself in Lisbon, and has oulleeted great quantities of provisions : his force haS been estimated at 17,000 men, but we have good reason to believe that his whole force does not exceed 1.5,000 etfeaive men. Sir A. Wi:LLES LEY was expelled to land at Figuera, about 20 leagues to the northward of Lisbon. We have at present a small force there, consisting of marines, that were landed from Sir CHARLES COTTON'S fleet about three / weeks ago. THE calypso Sloop of War has arrived at Yar mouth with Dispatches from the Baltic. It does not appear that any further operations olconsequence have taken place between the Swedes and the Rus sians; but, by the accounts from St. Petersburgh, we are sorry to find that BUONAPARTE still retains his influence over the minds of the Emperor ALEX ANDER and the Archduke CONS.] ANTINE. The latter, it is said, had received from BUONAPARTE a promise of the Throne of Turkey. The French are still continuing their insults and oppres,ions in Holstein : it is said they have demanded the entire cession of that Province, and a contribution of several millions of dollars. The article which ippeared in THE SUM of last night, intimating the probability that the Duke of YORK would be appointed Commander in Chief of the British Army in Spain, has occasioned some animadversion in those who seem by no means friendly to his Royal Highness.—When we said that such an appointment " would be gratitinig to the people of Spain," we did so upon very goad autho rity, for we are assured that the Spanish Patriots themselves solicited the honour of having one of the Blood Royal of this Country appear in favour ot-their Cause: As this was the case, could the British Govern ment,in assenting to the request of the Spanish Patriot s, pay them a greater compliment than to nominate the next in kindred to the Heir-Apparent to such an . appointment? After such a requisition on their part, the Duke of YORK is highly to be commended for having manifested a readiness to engage in so glo rious a cause. If he had declined to embark in that cause, it is by no means improbable that they who are inclined to treat his Royal Highness so harshly, might have been the first to condemn him for being reluctant upon an occasion so interesting to all man kind. In the article which has drawn the animadver sions on us to which we are now alluding, we simply observed, that such an appointment " would be gratifyisig to the people of Spai❑ ;" and we re peat, that our chief reason for doing so Was an assurance that the leading people of that country had actually made such a rev isition, Dispatches were received yesterday from Sir J. SAUMAREZ, dated the 19th last - , off the Isle of Moen. They do not bring any news of importance; but-we understand they state, that the' French troops in that and the other neighbouring*Danish ishinds conduct• themselves: in the most • oppressive and insulting manner. to the inhabitants. They respect neither person nor property, seize whatever they. like, with out paying for it, and exercise a wanton and un limited authority in the place. Dispatches were sent off last night for the Chan , nel Fleet, which is arrived in Torbay. •• )••• • Private accounts were received in town yesterday, stating that the Expedition under Sir A. Vf ELLE:, LEY had arrived .off the Coast of Portugal on the 24th ult. Preparations were then making fig 'the 'landing of the troops next day at Figueras. The Portuguese Ambassador had an interview with Lord MULGRAvs yesterday. • Dispatches for Sir SIDNEY SMITH were sent last night to Plymouth, to . be forwarded to the Brazils. • His Royal Highness the Prince of WALES left town yesterday afternoon for Brighton. On Sunday her Royal Highness the Princess of WALES entertained her Royal Mother, the Dl!.chess of Baubiswicti, and a large party of fashionables, at dinner, at her seat at Blackheath. On Sunday the Duke of YORK entertained a selea party of fiends to dinner, at Oaflantls. His Royal Highness the Duke of YORK enter tained a sele6t party of Military Gentlemen at ciciiL• ner yesterday, at his house in the Stable-yard, St. James's. His Royal Highness the Duke of CUMBERLAND gave a grand.dinner on Sunday to the Duke oldnu- BRIDGE, and a large party of Military Gentlemen, at his seat at Kew. Ott Saturday the Duke of Sussux gave an elegant dinner to their Royal Highnesses the Dukes of CUM BERLAND and CAMBRIDGE, Baron EBEN, and several Military Gentlemen, at the Clarendon Hotel, Bond street. Lours XVIII. with th 6 Princes of his Family, have left Gostield-hall, in Essex, some time, and have resided since witti the Prince DE CONDE, their venerable. relative, at Wanstead-house. They are now about to prOceed to Hartwell, the seat of the Rev. Sir GLottcg LEA, Bart. within two miles . of Aylesbury, in the county of Buckingliain ; where they•will in future reside. The remaining part of the Royal Vamily of France are expected tO come to this country in a.few week:.

FISHMONGERS' HALL. The glorious cause of Spain has been properly f ';t by the People of this Country, and the zea, wee which Brituas have entered into that cause %vet add to the reputation of our national' character. It wti; natural to suppose that the Corporate Bodies of ti;:s great . Commercial City, the Capital of the civilittd world, should participate in these honourable, feel ings, and accordingly, the Company of Fishinetigers, much to their credit, took the lead yesterday in pub licly manifesting their sentiments on this interesting . occasion. A grand entertainment was given at theft Hall, to which the Spanish Deputies ttnci a consider able number of distinguished persons of this Couutry were invited, several of whom were present. Ri citA an Cattezicrait Shfrril, Esq. the Prime Warden, a soon as the cloth was removed, addressee! the coin., pany in the following terms: cr Gentlemen- , -eIo requesting that the toast 1 arg' about to propose may be drank in the most respect ful manlier, namely, standing, and with three timet three, lam uersuaded I shall only anticipate the wishes of every Gentleman present, because I ad dress myself to Englishmen, whose Willi-right is liberty, and who are :ou sensible of this inestimable privilege, not merely to welcome our illustrious visi tors, the Noble Deputies from Spain, but to desire them, as the Representatives of a great Natton.strur gling against oppression, to tell their gallant country men, that we cordially rejoice in their noble efforts; that we consider their cause as our own ; and that we are ready, it necessary, to share our treasure, and to spill our blood in their uettnce against the Usurper of Europe, and for theepiesert anvil ut their national freedom and independence. " Influenced by these feL•iings, in which I assure myself you ,varmly participate, I neg leave to drink---' " success to the P..triots a Span' and Portugal ; a " prosperous issue to their glorious cause ; and may " their example be speedily' followed by the other " oppressed matrons of Europe." This speech was received wiih great applause, and a Gentleman present deluered the following answer in behalf or the Spanish Deputies, who seemed to be deeply affected by the warn.th and energy with which the cause of their conntiy has been adopted by the Brltist, Government and Na tion. " GENTLEMEN,—From their inability to speak oar language, it has unwortli:ly fallen to my lot, at the request of the Spanish Deputies, to return their respectful and sincere thanks tor the honour yoti have this day comerred on them. 'Lacy are deer ly sensible of your unmerited kindness, and they feet it a proud moment to be thus early a nd splendidly distinguished by one of the greatehar. tered companies ut England. Unable tnetnselves to do justice to their feelings, they direct me tO .assure you, it will not be more their duty than their pride and inclination to convey to their gallant court' trytnen in arms the cordial expressions of your zealous good will to the noble cause in which, they are en. gaged; and they trust the best reward of your kind. IIeSS will be found in their success. By their patient valour, and by your inagnaniino,is asshiance, under the blessing and protection of Divine Piovidence, they stedtastly Lope w repel the in aster of Lila country, for they have the proud satisiattion to say, It is the unanimous determination of et ely true Sp a . wail ( to preserve their independence or peri,ol), and never to make peace with BUONAPARTIi while there is one Frenchman in arms upon the , Spanish territory- With such determination, and such conduct, the)? look forward to a great and glorious result---tithe de" fence and deliverance of their Country from the tr rattily of France; and they trust that their great ce ample will be successfully followed by the Nations around them, to the dismay and ultimate discomtv" Lure of the oppressor of Europe." Many loyal and patriotic toasts followed, and the day passed with all that harmony which ought to mark the celebration of yr glorious a cause. J'! WEYMOUTH, AMY 30.
